David has been on a quest for a really great burger for awhile now and had been talking incessantly about mentioned eating at Moderne Burger so I wanted to make sure we got there on this trip to Vancouver. We finally made it out there on Sunday for lunch and we each ordered a burger, we split some fries and I had a coffee mocha shake and David had the chocolate malt. Yum. David liked his burger better than I liked mine, but burgers are subjective and everyone likes something different.
I really appreciated the mayo and special sauce, but the burger was a bit sloppy for my taste. 6 napkins for one hamburger is too many, in my opinion. The bottom bun completely disappeared under the weight of the fillings and to be honest the patty was a little dry, but it was still very tasty. The fries were outstanding and both my milkshake and David's malt were amazingly good and huge. The atmosphere was very cool, the service was friendly and fast and sitting up at the counter made me feel like I was reliving a childhood I never had. Next time we're in Vancouver we'll definitely be stopping for some take out milkshakes - I've got to try the chocolate covered cherry and David thinks the creamsicle shake was perhaps invented just for him.
I can't remember the last time I had a burger and a shake. Must do it now!! Thanks.
